Winemaker Notes

Sentinel showcases the unique climate topography and geology of one of Washingtong's marquee Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, Northridge Vineyard. A blend of Bordeaux varieties, it is dark, ripe and jammy with aromas of Bing cherry, blackberry and dark roasted coffee. The palate is both muscular and silky with deep black currants and an underlying hint of creamy caramel. This is a full-bodied wine that is both broad and velvety on the finish, and will pair beautifully with beef, pork, lamb and pastas with red sauce or strong cheeses.

    Velvety, round and generous, this layers ripe black fruit flavors with hints of black olive, rare roast beef and espresso, lingering on the polished and expressive finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2020.

    More fresh, pure and perfumed, with its fruit front and center, the 2010 Sentinel is an outstanding blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Malbec and Petit Verdot, that spent 16 months in 30% new oak. Coming all from the Northridge Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope, it possesses beautiful black raspberry, creme de cassis, creamy licorice and jam covered toast-styled aromatics along with a medium to full-bodied, supple, elegant profile on the palate. It has upside potential and will drink nicely through 2025. Drink now-2025.

Milbrandt, Washington
Milbrandt Winery Image
Butch and Jerry Milbrandt planted their first vineyard in 1997. In the ensuing decade, Milbrandt Vineyards earned a reputation for growing some of Washington State's finest grapes. These grapes have found their way into many of Washington's most sought-after wines and the Milbrandt name and vineyards are featured on many prestigious labels.

In 2006, under the talented direction of winemaker Gordon Hill, they began crafting signature wines using selected grapes from their reputable vineyards. Milbrandt's first wines were released in June 2007. The tradition for excellence established in their vineyards is inherent in every bottle of Milbrandt Vineyards wine.

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

A large and geographically diverse AVA capable of producing a wide variety of wine styles, the Columbia Valley AVA is home to 99% of Washington state’s total vineyard area. A small section of the AVA even extends into northern Oregon!

Because of its size, it is necessarily divided into several distinctive sub-AVAs, including Walla Walla Valley and Yakima Valley—which are both further split into smaller, noteworthy appellations. A region this size will of course have varied microclimates, but on the whole it experiences extreme winters and long, hot, dry summers. Frost is a common risk during winter and spring. The towering Cascade mountain range creates a rain shadow, keeping the valley relatively rain-free throughout the entire year, necessitating irrigation from the Columbia River. The lack of humidity combined with sandy soils allows for vines to be grown on their own rootstock, as phylloxera is not a serious concern.

Red wines make up the majority of production in the Columbia Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominant variety here, where it produces wines with a pleasant balance of dark fruit and herbs. Wines made from Merlot are typically supple, with sweet red fruit and sometimes a hint of chocolate or mint. Syrah tends to be savory and Old-World-leaning, with a wide range of possible fruit flavors and plenty of spice. The most planted white varieties are Chardonnay and Riesling. These range in style from citrus and green apple dominant in cooler sites, to riper, fleshier wines with stone fruit flavors coming from the warmer vineyards.
